Auto not being recognised by the compiler, what would be the best replacement?
- by user1719605
So I have wrote a program that uses auto however the compiler doesn't seem to recognize it, probably it is an earlier compiler.
I was wondering for my code, with are suitable variables to fix my code so that I do not need to use the auto keyword? I'm thinking a pointer to a string? or a string iterator, though I am not sure.
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
enum MODE {
WHOLE, PREFIX, SUFFIX, ANYWHERE, EMBEDDED
} mode = WHOLE;
bool reverse_match = false;
int c;
while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, ":wpsaev")) != -1) {
switch (c) {
case 'w': // pattern matches whole word
mode = WHOLE;
break;
case 'p': // pattern matches prefix
mode = PREFIX;
break;
case 'a': // pattern matches anywhere
mode = ANYWHERE;
break;
case 's': // pattern matches suffix
mode = SUFFIX;
break;
case 'e': // pattern matches anywhere
mode = EMBEDDED;
break;
case 'v': // reverse sense of match
reverse_match = true;
break;
}
}
argc -= optind;
argv += optind;
string pattern = argv[0];
string word;
int matches = 0;
while (cin >> word) {
switch (mode) {
case WHOLE:
if (reverse_match) {
if (pattern != word) {
matches += 1;
cout << word << endl;
}
} else if (pattern == word) {
matches += 1;
cout << word << endl;
}
break;
case PREFIX:
if (pattern.size() <= word.size()) {
auto res = mismatch(pattern.begin(), pattern.end(), word.begin());
if (reverse_match) {
if (res.first != word.end()) {
matches += 1;
cout << word << endl;
}
} else if (res.first == word.end()) {
matches += 1;
cout << word << endl;
}
}
break;
case ANYWHERE:
if (reverse_match) {
if (!word.find(pattern) != string::npos) {
matches += 1;
cout << word << endl;
}
} else if (word.find(pattern) != string::npos) {
matches += 1;
cout << word << endl;
}
break;
case SUFFIX:
if (pattern.size() <= word.size()) {
auto res = mismatch(pattern.rbegin(), pattern.rend(), word.rbegin());
if (reverse_match) {
if (res.first != word.rend()) {
matches = +1;
cout << word << endl;
}
} else if (res.first == word.rend()) {
matches = +1;
cout << word << endl;
}
}
break;
case EMBEDDED:
if (reverse_match) {
if (!pattern.find(word) != string::npos) {
matches += 1;
cout << word << endl;}
} else if (pattern.find(word) != string::npos) {
matches += 1;
cout
<< word << endl;
}
break;
}
}
return (matches == 0) ? 1 : 0;
}
Thanks in advance!
